Refer to Daisy's PPF Assume Daisy is only able to get 4 lbs of flour each week. Describe her new PPF curve. Would Daisy's PPF shift (move on both axes) or pivot (move on only one axis)? (write "shift" or "pivot") Her new PPF would cross the tarts axis at tarts. Her new PPF would cross the pies axis at pies.

Draw Maries budget constraint with pies on the horizontal axis and magazines on the vertical axis. What is the slope of me budget constraint?
If we have money, we buy goods and services to satisfy our needs. In economics, thesatisfaction that we get from the consumption of goods and services is called utility. Usea utility graph to explain what happen to the utility when you keep on increasing thenumber of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the utility when you keep onincreasing the number of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the additionalutility (i.e. additional satisfaction) when you increase your consumption by one unit
I already have parts 1,2,3. I just need help with parts 4 and 5. Robinson Crusoe lives in an island. There are onlytwo food sources in this island: coconut and berries. There is no money in the island but Robinsonuses his time to collect coconuts and berries. He sleeps 8 hours in a day. Collecting a coconut takes2 hours. Picking a pound of berries takes one hour. 1. Considering the food collection times as the prices in the island, write the budget line equationand draw Robinson’s budget line graphically. Specify the intercepts and the slope in the budgetline on the graph.Robinson falls from coconut tree and injures his leg. After the injury collecting coconut takes longer.He can only collect a coconut in 4 hours, but he can still pick berries at the same pace as before. 2. What happens to Robinson’s budget line? Show on the graph. Robinson’s injury makes him more sleepy. Now he sleeps 12 hours in a day. 3. What happens to Robinson’s budget line? Show on the graph.Two weeks after the…
Q2. You drink only Coffee or Orange juice Price of Coffee (dollars per cup) Marginal Utility of Coffee (for 1st cup) Price of Orange Juice (dollars per glass) Marginal Utility of Orange Juice (for 1st glass) $3 60 $2 50 c) If you have 1 cup of Coffee and 1 glass of Orange juice, are you in Equilibrium? Explain briefly. d) If not, how should you change your consumption of these 2 items?
3. Darnell's $30 budget is spent entirely on muffins, which cost $3 each, or orange juice. His budget constraint shows endpoints at 10 muffins or 20 cartons of orange juice. How much does orange juice cost? (Sketch out the budget constraint to help you with this one, but I'm only looking for a verbal answer.)

Reference Microeconomics Mankiw Chapter 21 The theory of Consumer Choice Assume that Sarah is awake for 100 hours per week. a.) Use a diagram to show Sarah’s budget constraints if she earns $6 per hour, $8 per hour, and $10 per hour. Your diagram should have consumption (as measured in dollars) on the y-axis and hours of leisure per week on the x-axis. Do not count the time that Sarah sleeps as “leisure” in your analysis. Assume that Sarah allocates each of the 100 hours that she is awake each week either to labor or to leisure. b) Now draw indifference curves on your diagram such that Sarah’s labor supply curve is upward sloping when her wage is between $6 and $8 per hour, but is downward sloping when her wage is between $8 and $10 per hour. c) Use words to explain why your graph suggests that the supply curve is upward sloping when the wage is between $6 and $8 per hour and is downward sloping when the wage is between $8 and $10 per hour.You do NOT need to draw the corresponding…
1. Suppose you earn $1500 per week and you consume only two types of goods per week- sandwiches and orange juice, which you purchase at a mini mart. Each sandwich cost $150 and an orange juice is $75 per cup. a) Construct a table showing the alternative combinations of the two products that are available. b)Plot the data in your table on a budget line. What is the slope of the budget line? What is the opportunity cost of one more cup of orange juice? And what is opportunity cost of one more sandwich? Do these opportunity cost rise, fall or remain constant as you purchase an additional unit of the product? c)Suppose the price of a cup of orange juice increased to $150. Construct a new table showing alternative combinations of sandwiches and orange juice. Construct the new budget line.
Carol needs to decide how to spend her wealth on sh and chicken.For Carol, 1 lb of sh is equivalent to 2 lb of chicken. Her preferences2Intermediate Microeconomics NYUAD, Spring 2023can be represented by the utility functionu(x; y) = 2x + ywhere x is the quantity of sh (in lbs) and y is the quantity of chicken(in lbs). The consumption set is R2+.(a) Draw two typical indi erence curves for Carol, one correspondingto a utility level of u1 and one corresponding to a utility level u2,where 0 < u1 < u2. Make sure you label the slope of the indif-ference curves and the intercepts with the horizontal and verticalaxes.(b) Suppose the price of sh is $1:5 per lb and and the price of chickenis $1 per lb. Carol has $20 to spend on sh and chicken.(i) Draw Carol's budget set, labeling the slope and the interceptpoints clearly.(ii) How much sh and chicken will Carol choose to purchase?
Marie has a weekly budget of $24, which she likes to spend on magazines and pies. Calculate: a) If the price of a magazine is $4 each, what is the maximum number of magazines she could buy in a week? b) If the price of a pie is $12, what is the maximum number of pies she could buy in a week? c) Draw Marie’s budget constraint with pies on the horizontal axis and magazines on the vertical axis. What is the slope of the budget constraint? d) What is Marie’s opportunity cost of purchasing a pie? NOTE: To answer this question simply work your answer in a piece of paper, take a photo of it and upload the file. Remember that this is a problem solving question, hence you must show your work!
